How CDN speeds up mobile applications

1. The Importance of Mobile Apps User Experience 

In this fast-growing digital era, mobile application development is crucial for any online business. Mobile apps have significantly impacted the way we perform business, also users’ behavior and preference. According to the study, the number of mobile users worldwide will exceed 7.26 billion by the end of 2022 (Statista, 2022), which shows that customers are now spending more time daily on mobile devices than other gadgets. Furthermore, customers who depend upon mobile apps for productivity, communication, and other functions are demanding more efficient mobile experience. To fulfill these expectations, organizations must check their mobile app performance routinely, and optimize the investments if needed.

2. How Can CDN Help Enhance Applications Performance? 

CDN (Content Delivery Network) caches the application content and API requests on geographically distributed groups of servers that spread across the globe. Therefore, when customers request content and information, their requests do not have to travel all the way to the origin, alternatively, the requests only need to go to the closest cache server in the local area for the content.

 (1) Reduce Latency: CDN significantly decreases the total response time and helps to deliver content fast to the customers on the mobile application.

 (2) Enhance Security: CDN solutions can utilize and deploy reliable security features to ensure that the delivery of mobile applications is secure. Especially prevent your apps from DDoS attacks, which have been sharply increasing in recent research.

Investing in a modern, smart CDN solution will bring up content loading speed and accelerate performance for user experience to the next level.
